Apologies for the confusion on the dates for the rallies. I received several e-mails with update information and got the information crossed...
There was a community Speak Out rally scheduled for Saturday August 13th at Wisconsin & Frye Streets in Peoria. That location has been changed to the Behrends Street location of the most recent murder of our fellow 8 year old citizen. The time will remain the same at 4:30 PM. We will combine the prayer vigil with the community rally at this particular location.
All other rally locations and times will remain the same.
2- Saturday August 13th ~ Behrends Street 4:30 PM - TODAY!

We will also be generating support for another Peoria Gun Exchange in effort to support efforts in addressing the gun violence that has taken a hold of our community. Thank you for your help in spreading the word as we are moving as swiftly as possible to address many issues.
